“Real men”... about online video gaming. Please covid-19, wipe us all out

@Ikasnu said in Can we penalize players who pause often?:

I pause on average 5 or so times per inning because I want to see the pitch selection as the AB continues, that and who's on deck, what's in the hole.

You are a nightmare sir

You should be playing better than ever then, according to some people on here.

Why stand in front of the mirror and say Candyman? Why??

Haha wait are you not a real man ?

Of course, when my wife complains about me playing 8 hours a day I tell her to STFU and bring me another cold one

@A_PerfectGame said in Will the coronavirus effect content releases and overall supportof the game?:

Can we not talk about the corona virus on these threads. It’s already a way over abused topic everywhere. We get it there’s a a new virus. Everything closing is absurd. They didn’t do this for SARS, Ebola, H1n1 or any of the other MORE DEADLY virus’ they didn’t have medicine for. This is a concern but it’s blown way out of proportion because of an incompetent media and unintelligent masses.

That’s because you don’t read or get informed. The problem for Corona is that you can have the virus and be contagious 4 days BEFORE displaying symptoms, not the case for SARS and Ebola. H1N1 was an influenza. Just because authorities were being careless before doesn’t mean we should continue to act like it. With the overpopulation now, it will be more and more common. Panic? No, but not dismissive either.

Beef I have with Moneyball (book and movie) is they never mention a certain trio of great SPs... seems important, no?

My wife, she's been a part of my life for 11 years now.

Congrats, try 17...

I can't give you life-changing tips, had you posted this 2-3 weeks ago I would have said get 19 for cheap and start practicing. If you want to play competitive, put your hitting view in Strike Zone ("SZ"), or another view that's really close. You lose out on presentation but you'll get better quicker. Conquest is a good way to both practice and grind rewards. As others have posted, the market is the market; ie, hard to predict. I'd say don't get too emotionally attached to cards, since as the season progresses, better and better cards keep flooding the market. 19 was insanely easy to get diamonds, I expect 20 to be more of the same.

Have fun trying out different methods to make stubs: collections, market, events, exchanges, etc. Hang around here to get some pointers on the new meta(s), and enjoy. There is no wrong way to enjoy the content.

No PCI is easy. Just wait and swing. “That’s real baseball”... still a video game bro, no amount of flexing will change that. Still a controller. Still dependant on player attributes. Still on your couch instead of the dugout. All you do is belittle people on these forums and stroke your ego with your performance on a video game on easy setting, to boot. I would be sad to be you.

Flu is 0,01% mortality rate, CV-19 2-2,5%. Spanish flu was 3,5%. It’s no joke, listen to Joe Rogan’s Monday podcast with the virus expert.

Any time a SP is a bronze, no matter if he’s 35 or a 10 year vet, he’s always a « young starter on the mound »

Because some people only hit with square wether 0-2 or 3-0

I check swing on 75% of pitches just to drive the other guy nuts and mess with his plan. He never knows what I’m looking for.

I’ve just finished reading Bad Religion’s new biography, and they reference Tony Hawk 2’s soundtrack influencing/bringing in a new generation of fans because of the song « You »; lo and behold the next day I see this release that I had no idea was coming. I didn’t play it, but remember the tracks were amazing when my friends did.

Can someone close that thread before this clown hurts himself?

Diamond dynasty is the best game mode for any sports game. Madden fell off a long time ago IMO, total cash grab. 2k would be the best sports game because of the various modes( myteam, mycareer, franchise are all unique modes) but they are also a cash grab. I can legit build a good dd team and have fun just by playing and flipping some cards. For whatever gameplay issues people have, the team building itself is best in class.

Ultimate/dynasty modes are absolute trash, but I don’t have a choice to play them if I want competitive one vs one. It’s the reason I quit NHL.

I think the last Madden I bought is 11, after selling 10 a week in. IIRC, in 10 & 11, the AI DBs covering your WRs would run your routes before your receivers! The last great Maddens were on PS2, the decline on PS3 was already visible.

guys question - does the TYPE OF INTERNET CONNECTION matter here? i have 0 issues off a copper wire internet (not fibre and not coaxial cable)

on a coax cable the games dropped all the time so i changed providers bc of that and other reasons related to d/u take

i am also pair bonded with 2 lines in

It goes both ways: copper connection is like having a straight connection to your ISP, that is your speed is not influenced by your neighborhood’s high usage like after 6 at night for cable. On the other hand, copper is less stable (like dropped packets) than cable. When I worked in telecom, customers on DSL had lots of problems with IP phones, compared to coax and fiber.
